Red wine grape · Vitis vinifera
A red wine grape originating in the French Pyrenees vineyards, with a separately documented history in Uruguay.
Plantgrape places Tannat's origin in the Pyrenees vineyards. UC Davis FPS independently lists France as its country of origin and describes it as an important variety in Uruguay, taken there by Basque settlers. Its later cultivation in Uruguay is distinct from its origin.
Plantgrape describes Tannat as fairly vigorous, usually pruned long and trellised, with large bunches and small to medium berries. These are cultivar-reference observations, not site-specific training or yield prescriptions.
Plantgrape describes sensitivity to mites and vine leafhoppers and some susceptibility to grey rot. UC Davis records Harriague, Moustron and Moustroun among its historical synonyms. Neither these names nor the regional history establishes local disease pressure, irrigation needs or equivalent performance across French and Uruguayan sites.

INRAE / IFV cultivar reference. Vine-trait observations belong to this reference's context; they are not universal planting or irrigation recommendations.
Independent institutional variety record used to cross-check cultivar identity and naming. It does not independently validate every agronomic observation in Plantgrape.
Cultivar descriptions are source-attributed reference material, not site prescriptions. No numeric soil-moisture threshold, disease diagnosis, regional suitability guarantee or GroundWorx performance claim is established here.
